For generations, physicians have observed that movement heals in ways medicine alone cannot fully explain. Now, researchers at Mass General Brigham and the University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf have traced one thread of that mystery to irisin, a hormone released by muscles during exercise, which appears to directly shield neurons from the degeneration at the heart of multiple sclerosis. Published in Nature Metabolism, the finding offers not only a biological explanation for exercise's benefits in MS patients, but a potential new therapeutic pathway for a disease whose current treatments

Lente Econômica
Harvard research identifies exercise hormone irisin as neuroprotective agent against MS degeneration, potentially opening new therapeutic pathways and creating opportunities in biotech and pharmaceutical sectors.
Patients with MS and neurodegenerative diseases may gain access to new treatment options. Broader population may see increased emphasis on exercise-based health interventions and potential future irisin-based therapeutics, potentially reducing long-term healthcare costs for neurological conditions.
Regulatory agencies (FDA, EMA) may accelerate approval pathways for irisin-based therapeutics. Healthcare systems may increase coverage for exercise programs as preventive care. Research funding priorities may shift toward exercise-derived hormone therapies. Potential for new drug classifications and clinical trial frameworks.
